Add a user and your project, and setup the new bug tracker for it, as you
would do normally.

Ensure that the base folder for temporary import files is writable for your
current user. The default folder as used in ./run_importer.sh is:

/var/web/inside.openhatch.org/crawl-logs

Patch the import script ./run_importer.sh and change the URL for the
OpenHatch site from “https://openhatch.org/…” to “http://localhost:8000”.
Otherwise, the run_importer script tries to download and update all bugs
that are currently tracked at the real website…which might take a little
while.

Run the import script:

./run_importer.sh

and wait for it to finish. Then reload the browser page and check that the
bugs have indeed been imported properly.

If you mixed things up, you can reset the database completely at any time
with:

python./manage.pyreset_db--router=default

This will leave you with a blank OpenHatch instance, without any users,
projects or bugs. Then rinse and repeat the steps above…
